Flickr Updates

Have you checked out the flickr pool lately? If not, you're missing out on Muriel's pillow, Lydia's table runner and some totally sweet blocks.

Awesome, right? Keep the blocks, projects and quilts coming! We love to see what you're working on.

Wow! I love that contrasting vertical sashing and the myriad prints that bittybirdquilts used in this quilt top. Great job!

A finished project!

Check it out! Colleenmds made a rice heating bag using the Broken Dishes block. I absolutely love the colors she picked too. Fantastic job!

This little rice bag makes me super happy. I put a lot of time and effort into making these tutorials. And before that, it takes a lot of mental trial and error before I even start working things up in fabric. So, to know someone liked one of my projects enough to make one of their own...well, that's just so cool!

Anyway, if you make one of our projects, please feel free to post pictures the flickr pool. We'd love to see them!

Catch-up Week

Hi everyone! As you can see, Jennifer and I are running a bit behind this week. We've decided to cut our losses and declare this a "catch up" week...for us and, if you're quilting along with us, for you.

This means no giveaway this week but that doesn't have to keep us from chatting. I'd love to know: what projects are you working on these days? Link to pictures or blog posts if you have them.

I'm finishing up the last few Mod projects and cutting fabric for two new quilts and making raw edge applique throw pillows.

And if you haven't been to the flickr pool in a while, check it out!

There's a beautiful finished quilt using round 1 blocks.

And lots of new blocks: Corner Star, Eight Hands Around, Amish Diamond, The Dandy, Quatrefoil and a grouping of four blocks in a color scheme that is, in my opinion, quite striking!

We'll be back on Monday with our next block tutorial. Stay tuned...

Mermaids! Birds! Love!

Take a look at Lisa's newest Eight Hand's Around block. I'm in LOVE! I mean, come on...mermaids! I'm too scared to cut into my Mendocino stash so I'm going to live vicariously through this block...

I'm in love with all the fussy cutting going on! I need to know: what's your favorite fabric to fussy cut?

A finished quilt top!

Have you been to the flickr pool today? Have you seen Jen's finished quilt top? I'm completely in awe (and completely jealous!) I have to stop talking now or I'll never stop talking about how much I love this quilt top.

Good News!

Figured we'd better let you know about our Flickr group.

Please join the group and post your completed blocks.  Ours are there, and we can't wait to see what you come up with!
